The FY12 ELL Enrollment Summary and Ceiling Calculator for this year will incorporate several
components in addition to what was collected in the FY11 application. This includes staff qualifications
and assignments; program models for each attendance center; and the Immigrant Education Program
(IEP) private school student count.

In light of these additions, the Division of English Language Learning (DELL) has scheduled a series of
training workshops to provide guidance for districts in accessing and completing Part 1 of the FY12
consolidated application. Please visit www.isbe.net/bilingual under “Hot Topics” for more information.

New TBE/TPI program directors or anyone with additional questions who may have participated in
training provided for the completion of the FY11 consolidated application are strongly encouraged to
attend.

If you have any question(s), please contact the Division of English Language Learning at (312) 814‐3850.
